This is Obama's economy. Only 95,000 jobs were created last month. About half of what is needed JUST TO BREAK EVEN based on people leaving the job sector and those entering it.

When will Obama have the responsibility of this economy hung about his neck? He had full control of the executive and legislative from 2009-2011. He has had control of the Oval Office and Senate from 2011 to the present. He is the president. He has the most influential and powerful position on earth. He promised low unemployment within his first term. It didn't happen. he said there were shovel ready jobs just waiting with the infusion of trillions of dollars in stimulus spending. Later he admitted that the jobs weren't so shovel ready and chuckled. There are less people working than have ever been in the past 35 years. There are more people on food stamps than in history. There are more people dependent on government assistance than in history. The national debt is at its highest in history. The deficit is at it's highest in history. The economy is barely growing. 3-4% growth is considered strong. It hasn't broken 2% in a long time. I don't think ever under BO, if I'm not mistaken.

Is there anybody here willing to say that this president is responsible at some point for the state of this economy. You know you would be tooting your horns if it was robust and breaking records for prosperity and wealth creation. Does he only get credit when it is good, but shoulders zero blame when it's bad?
